Job Title: Research Fellow (CBDS/CJM) University-Level Unit: Duke-NUS Medical School Faculty/Department-Level Unit: Office of Research Employee Category: Research Staff Location_ONB: Outram Campus Posting Start Date: 02/09/2026 Job Description Dr Chen Jinmiao is looking for a motivated Research Fellow to join her laboratory within the Centre for Biomedical Data Science (CBDS). The successful candidate will contribute to AI-powered analyses of single-cell and spatial omics to advance precision medicine. Dr Chen’s research team develops AI algorithms for spatial and single-cell omics, integrates publicly available datasets into a centralised data hub, and leverages this platform to build AI models for biomarker discovery and drug target identification. The Selected Candidate Will Perform a Variety Of Research Activities Under The Supervision Of The Principal Investigator, Including But Not Limited To The Following - Develop new computational tools through the application of AI / deep learning / machine learning / statistics on spatial and single-cell omics (transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics, metabolomics, meta-transcriptomics, etc.) data. - Independently carry out computational and bioinformatics analysis for large-scale spatial and single-cell omics as well as next generation sequencing studies. - Application of qualitative and quantitative research techniques which include accurate in-depth assessment, interpretation, and evaluation of -omics data sets, conceptualise new ideas and develop plans for independent research in the field of single-cell and spatial omics and other -omics data modalities. - Write and review research papers and present research outcomes. - Perform routine duties related to the research study, such as data curation and making data backups, as required. - Contribute to project management, provide guidance to junior researchers as well as undergraduate and graduate students, occasional educational/instructional activities. - Perform other related duties incidental to the work described herein. Job Requirements - PhD in a related scientific area (e.g., AI, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Statistics, Database, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Data Science, Data Analytics, Biology) with demonstrated hands on experience in bioinformatics and genetics/genomics data analyses. - Familiar with and experienced in handling and manipulating omics datasets, including spatial transcriptomics, RNA-seq, and single-cell RNA-seq, etc. - Proficient in R / Python and Linux / Bash. - Prior experience and working knowledge of additional computational platforms and applications (e.g. Quantum computing, Perl, Java, etc.) preferred. - A team player who is able to prioritise, multi-task and work collaboratively in a diverse workforce. We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
